This is the means for the DSp to load the initial data, in order to continue reading the rest of the program from the EPROM into internal SRAM, for execution. > Is there > any way to create a boot file from a simple .asm > program without > passing the .LDF process? The .LDF is a Linker Description File, which serves to map the object code into sections of the memory, internal (SRAM) or external (SDRAM, for example), and PM, or DM. You need one for the liker to work!!! What you need is to generate your project as a "DSP Loader File". When you do this, you get a .LDR file, which is nothing but an Intel Hex file which holds the information for booting the DSP from an external ROM, an EPROM in your case. You just burn the EPROM with that file, and your DSP will boot from it, without you doing anything with boot kernels. It is worh saying that the first 256 instructions in your LDR will be the boot kernel, the instructions which will tell the DSP how to continue loadin the rest of the program from the EPROM. > > Thank you very much for any help in advance.
